recent acquisitions

don't mind the title, i'm just bored with using the word 'haul' all the time lol. I guess that means I buy too much stuff.

***

i borrowed a whole stack of animes from my bf in case I got bored:

Anyway we didn't really celebrate V-day because he had to pack for his trip that night. But on Wednesday we did have dinner. Also before that, we stopped by the mall because I had already mentioned to him I wanted to get something from MAC that day. He was nice enough to pay for it too :)

I got the Sassed-up iridescent powder, and Cult Fave lipglass.

Originally I was going to get the Rollickin Paint pot instead of the lipglass, but the texture felt drier than I had thought. It also didn't look as wearable for me when swatched on my skin. The lipglass on the other hand was really pretty colour so I decided to get it anyway despite the disappointing packaging.

You can see here the design is a label that goes around the lipglass cap:

The top part of the label even sticks out a bit :S

Not good, because I'm the type that picks at stuff like that. But I guess even if I end up ruining the sticker, the MAC logo is still somewhat unique compared to the ones on the permanent products.

Besides MAC, I also hauled some drugtore items over the past few weeks:

haha! my little sis loves spiderman! :] oh, and i took a glance at your stack of anime's and Rahxephon is a good one. :] if you like dramatic animes you should watch "the eternity you wish for" that's the english translation, i forget the japanese one. :P also, evangelion is a good anime. :]

christiana: hmm i should see if my bf has those in his collection when he gets back :)

gezebel: haha you should! i like storm :) hmm i really liked high top swatched on my hand, but it looked like it'd be way too shimmery on my lips. maybe i'll try it on my lips next time.

nic nic: hehe actually my bf is the hardcore anime fan, i never watched much until he started lending me collection.

emilee: i agree...so sad because it looked so good in the promo pics too! the colours are nice, but the interesting colours don't suit me at all :S i'm still not sure I liked Sassed up, but Belightful was nice. I didn't want to get Belightful though because I already have something similar.

I believe Pursebuzz mentioned that they're shrink wrapped? I dunno, because I have yet to see it in real life. :\ lol @ Spiderman! I'm a Batman girl myself. I just can't get past that tall dark and handsomeness and those steely blue eyes. *drool* Yes, I know he's a cartoon. :p

Hahaha, cute haul, especially the Batman Valentines day stuff. :D I was thinking about getting a bottle of castor oil too to try the oil cleansing method. But then someone brought up how much time you'll spending cleaning your towels and I decided to pass. LOL. :D

alienman: i'm the same way, i stop in that drugstore about 1-2 times a week for no reason, and spend like 40 mins in the cosmetics section. Usually i don't buy anything though, the SA probably thinks i'm a weirdo :D

i called it calamine soap but its basically a facial soap that contains calamine as well as some other ingredients for problem skin...its the same one that Vanessa raved about in her blog :)

jewels: haha i never thought about it that way! but its all good, i get to ogle his butt :P haha ;)

fei: haha i know the feeling....i have a huge crush on Cloud from FFVII: AV movie, even though I know he's not real :S

psychoexgf: good call! i tried it already and i don't think i like it...its not an ester like the commercial cleansing oils from DHC and MAC, so I don't get the same clean feeling when I rinse//wipe it off.
